jimlad: nice short quote about the Welsh. Shame you stopped there.

The Scots pray on their knees on Sunday and on their neighbours the rest of the week.
The Welsh keep the sabbath and anything else they can get their hands on.
The Irish don't know what they believe in but will fight to the death for it.
The English claim to be self made men which relieves the Almighty of a horrid responsibility.

As you will see, the full quote says little in favour of the English either.
The other, oft quoted, line about the Welsh is also better seen in full!
"Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief,
Taffy came to my house, and stole a lump of beef!
I went to Taffy's house, Taffy was in bed,
So I picked up a chopper, and chopped off his head!"
